Determining who is liable in a car accident is
important as this will decide who is going to pay for the damages incurred.

But before the ultimate judgment, there are key
technical factors procured and examined. The prosecutor usually assists in
bringing the accident reconstruction expert to help determine the faults in the
car accident damages. This process is crucial, as it can clear the fog and
bring to the light the events that occurred in sequential order.

The experts can determine a lot about the accident by
examining the location of the damage on a car/ vehicle. Like a car’s passenger
side damage, damage on the back and the front of each cars proves a rear-end
collision, a left-turn accident can be proved by front-right side damage of one
car and the front-end damage of the other car. These obvious damage locations
help in determining who was at fault.

However, there can other complex damages that will require
inspection using technical knowledge and skills of dynamics, engineering and
physics. We understand that, not just an individual can completely assist in
determining and placing hand on the fault. However, with an expert, most of the
assessment can be done. The experts analyze by re-creating the accidents
through creating models and measuring the debris of the cars.

Other key factors that are looked upon are:

Headlights

Point of Impact

Angles of the
steering wheel

Sudden
acceleration

Use of turn
signals, cruise control and lights

Anti-lock braking
systems

Nature and extent
of the injuries

Physical
shortcomings

Inspection of
roads in unfavorable environmental and weather conditions.

These examinations with their analysis are presented
and recorded as statements of proof in the court. The case is ultimately
handled under the state court supervisions.
